    What is the documentary called and where can I find it?

    If it has Nick Cave from Glastonbury I bet it’s Stagger Lee which is simply epic. I was listening to his poem, Steve McQueen (on YouTube) earlier today which had me close to tears. My family has had a rough weekend but we are pulling together, and Nick with his searingly honest response to his sons death, is a great role model.

    It has a clip of him playing ‘Red Right Hand’....as I say only a short bit but the doc works really well.

    Watching it now - it's great! I went twice, 98 and 99, before it became the monster it is now. It's funny looking back and remembering stuff - could you imagine going to something this large and the first thing you did after pitching your tent was collect firewood so you could get a wee fire going at night! Health and Safety would have a total mindfuck nowadays!

    Funny watching all the punters off their faces....

    The bits away from the mainstream stuff remind us of the festival we go to now, very small scale, full of travellers, hippies and kids - also cancelled this year <wah>

    Weird to see how the crowd has changed through the years.
    You should come to ‘Beautiful Days’ in Devon. It’s run by The Levellers and has a great vibe.
    Beth goes

    Just got to the muddy bit - my first experience of Glastonbury was a mudfest - mayhem. I've been to plenty of wet festivals since, but nothing as bad as that!

    Me too! They've obviously put that in for a second season. Really enjoyed it as a whole.

    I'm now binging on Gomorrah - just finished Season 1, absolutely brilliant

    I'll have to give it a look, I'll also have to stop having favourite characters, they always seem to get killed off. I liked his mate ... and he gets shot! The nun is now my fav so her time is marked haha. The first episode wow!! Was hooked after that, thought it was getting a little silly towards the end... then... **** that not needed and a bit of a let down, still despite that would thoroughly recommend and here's hoping for a second series.

    The Gentlemen - highly funny, and very well written and acted. Probably the best performance Hugh Grant has put in a film (which wouldn't be hard), Colin Farrel and Matthew McConnaghy also top notch. Very much in the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels mould, drug king-pins, a struggle for power, a big weed farm, lots of over-exagerated deaths and some pig-****ing........
